I am seeing a pattern in the recommendations regarding X (Captain Ruik's Adventure). Although some suggestions I can incorporate into the current book, it may be beneficial to go with the proposition of a prequel.

Great world-building opportunity here as well as an easy 'carrot to catch' for me; the story framework is already written. Next would be to "fill in the blanks" while I get to jump up and down at the notion of completing the drama portion (without neglecting action, most certainly).

Topics that were asked for more detail include:

+ Lanna's time aboard the Grey Shadow. This might get very uncomfortably dark, but will be much easier to approach since we know how the story ends already

+ Specifics on how Lanna went from stowaway to captain of her own vessel

+ Isaac's background, dialogue and relationship to Captain Ruik, including previous history

+ More about Lyss

+ More descriptions and feelings, "tap into your inner artist". I think I can do this better with a backstory since the focus is on the character and setting rather than events

One idea was to include all of this into X (Captain Ruik's Adventure). With hesitancy, I say "yeah", and will likely create a double volume or extended version to accommodate.

There may be another re-write for X (Captain Ruik's Adventure) as well. Will look into additional comments to see what should be incorporated if so.

Special thanks to Neil Benson and his Strangers In Common podcast.

Dreading how to explain the phenomenal event to high command, the USS Atticus is caught in a quandary: fully disclose the unbelievable truth? or to safely stick to little-known facts? Time for investigation is short as war flares just north of Guam at Iwo Jima. Called into a different kind of combat action, the destroyer joins a small squadron in a face-off against attacking planes and massive ships.

Can Atticus stay afloat? If so, will the ship and crew be silenced in secrecy?
